The Plastic Posse Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast about Scale Modeling.  This includes all genres, scales, and ability levels. From Warhammer 40K to Gundam to Aircraft to Armor and even Science Fiction, our show features in depth interviews with the best guests, as well as discussions that take a deeper look into the hobby and our motivation for it. Our motto is "There is NO wrong way to enjoy Scale Modeling!" Hosted by TJ Haller, Doug Smith, Jensen Taylor, John Bonnani, Grant Mayberry, and Scott Gentry, the Posse is all about the Social and Community Aspects of this hobby! Bottom line - we want to have some fun, and you will too as you listen in with us.

TJ is once again lost. If you see him, Jensen is offering a reward for information regarding his whereabouts. Scott, JB, Grant, and Jensen are joined by our good friend and TJ's arch nemesis, Aaron Kuck.

We have a LOADED Episode 121 for you. We offer a humble tribute to Shinsaku Tamiya, and feature not one but two interviews for you. First off, we sit down for a long overdue chat with Scott Primeau, and talk about his award winning work including Ascension, which won BOS at both MMSI and the recent Tulsa Figure Show. Then we also catch up with our friend Peter Davis from Down Under about the upcoming Scale ACT 2025 show, which is there 25th anniversary show and looks to be a terrific show! 

We also discuss where our respective SMC builds are at with less than 90 days until the show. We also ponder a question - how does your work area/bench make you feel - does it encourage relaxation and productivity? Or does it drive you to the television? We also discuss our new Group Build for the AK M1008 Chevy Trucks sponsored by AK Interactive and Micro-World Games. Lastly we talk about Modeling Rituals - a topic suggested by Jon Bryon from the UK.

Episode 120: Is the quality of your work limited by only using one finish technique?

Wed, 07/16/2025 - 00:00

Jensen leads the Posse for a catch up with everyone sans TJ. We catch up and talk techniques, give each other a hard time, discuss upcoming model shows, and what each of us has been up to.

We discuss where our respective SMC builds are at with less than 100 days until the show. We also discuss a question - does limiting your finish to only one or a couple of techniques impact the quality of your work? If you only use a paint brush, only use acrylics, only use an airbrush, etc... - does it affect the overall quality of your model? 

We also discuss our new Group Build for the AK M1008 Chevy Trucks sponsored by AK Interactive and Micro-World Games.

TJ, Grant, Scott and Jensen catch up after a few weeks away. We catch up and talk feedback, upcoming model shows, and what we have been up to.

JB is missing but he recorded a separate segment with JC Osborne, Jeremy Elliott, and Robbie Nauffts about the recent 2025 Rocky Mountain Expo held June 20/21 in Salt Lake City. 

JB and the group reminisce and do a deep dive into the show, what makes it different from other model shows, what they liked, and opportunities to improve.

We also discuss our new Group Build for the AK M1008 Chevy Trucks sponsored by AK Interactive and Micro-World Games.
